About Law of the Northwest
Briefly switching gears in 1942 and 1943, western star Charles Starrett made a handful of "northerns" in which he played a Canadian mountie. In Law of the Northwest, Steve King (Starrett) supervises a road-construction project designed to transport war materials to the Aleutians. Problems arise when a crooked contractor decides that his interests are more important than the war effort.
Directed by William Berke, Law of the Northwest leans on a strong ensemble — Charles Starrett, Shirley Patterson, Arthur Hunnicutt — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about western titles of 1943.

Ivey fights back with violence and destruction, but Dave is determined to counter him legally... a feeling not shared by his associates.
